A Taste Of Honey (Scott/marlow)
Hollies · Other Songs - Hollies
Tastin' much sweeter than wine
Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
And lingers still, though we're far apart
A taste of honey (honey, honey)
Tastin' much sweeter
I dream of your first kiss, and then
I feel upon your lips and then
A taste of honey (honey, honey)
Tastin' much sweeter
I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back for the honey
break
Well I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back
For the honey
And you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you
Whoa, whao, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you
